Coda Jeremiah

Alrihkh I really love the deep and mysterious weave of this song. It’s an immersive trip; a captivating experience. Surrender to it’s ethereal rumination. All facets of this gem are finely and admirably cut; lyrically, musically, and vocally. 8+/10. Favorite track: Coda Jeremiah.

lyrics

‘I am not the man I wished to be’
Jeremiah said out loud to no-one
‘I travelled some roads not meant for me,
Troubled, alone and mistaken’.
‘And through every struggle, some overcome,
Some lost inside, slowly burning’
‘I learned an acceptance, of who I became,
And who I pushed down and left broken’.

And the time is approaching to rise
And the time is approaching to rise

Jeremiah stood tall and looked around
Did all that he could to not seem he was fighting
He held out a hand to the girl on the ground
As she reached up to hold it, she noticed the slightest of tremors
As she climbed to her feet he was turning
He was leaving her watching him move to the lights
And as she called out in gratitude, asking his name
He started to call out, but then he just faded into the air

All I see is the light, all I feel is the heat
I see through everything
All I need is the stillness, all I need is the peace
I see through everything
There is nowhere to hide, no safety in place
I am in everything

I can see through your eyes
And speak with your voice
And it makes me sound tolerant
I feel through your skin
How the breath of the wind
Can stir you inside

I hear what you hear
When the speaker’s voice raises
And carries itself to your ears
And I know that you think
Though I can’t see your reasons
For staying here

Only now could I be
Something like any other
Like a man who exists
When existence is fine
Who feels nothing more
Is required for fulfilment
But living here, living this life

And yet I still see visions
Some regard them just dreams
Or are they real possibilities, real opportunities
That I have to change
Who I am to be?

And the red in the sky was within him this day
And his blood ran with darkness and cold
And his vision directed with malice
He moved till there was no-where to go
Those who blocked and impeded were trampled
Cast down with his fire and spite
He would beat them to loss and confusion
With all of his might

And the time is approaching to rise
And the time is approaching to rise

But the distance he travelled grew greater
And the further he went, more he felt
And the feeling was guidance and forgiveness
For all of his life, all that he dealt
When a woman came to him with kindness
His confusion caused her to smile
When he ran, she followed and with patience
She pieced back together
His scattered heart

In a quiet and considered existence
In a corner, the world could not know
In a time when the sorrow was memory
So a future could grow
As the world was returning to colour
And the silence returning to sound
And the heat of the sun fading discord
So the peace could be found.
